Yes that's sort of the way I figured it. I think a monitor will be the closest I can get to knowing. Thanks

Thanks, that's what I'll do. I didn't think of a monitor, good idea. Charlotte

Hi everyone, been a while since I posted, been super busy. My aunt had a stroke last year, she's now moved close to me and since she can't drive, I have to take her wherever she needs to go and she keeps me hopping. But I love her and it's not a problem. I've been sticking to the diet but lately have had trouble sleeping.…

I've got to stop reading about diets, looking up recipes and preparing grocery lists. Way too much time spent on FOOD. I want to be healthier not make it a career.:grumble: Sorry just venting. Hi Beth I know what you mean about the pollen. I live in south Alabama (Mobile) and it makes me want to wear a mask when I go…

Hello Jeffrey, nice to meet you. I'm impressed - a 5k run? Triathlon? :noway: Ha only in my dreams. Well... maybe some day. Thanks for the info on the skin, I am looking forward to being able to exercise soon. I am going to start upper body strength training next week, the rest will have to wait till I get the knees fixed.…

Hi Marie, the more I read about low carb diets the more confused I get. A lot of them cut the carbs down to 20-30g a day. That seems extreme to me-- when I started on MFP I set the daily intake at 30%carbs, 30% protein and 40% fat. and I'm losing a lot with it set like that. Considering what I was eating before, 30% carbs…

Yeah Barbie that's the way I'm hoping it will be for me. Comfortable. After 6 weeks now I have noticed since I cut my carbs and I'm eating more fruits and veggies I'm not craving like I used to. I know it will be a life changing way of eating and I can never go back to as much breads, pasta and potatoes. So I'm gradually…

Thanks Barbie, I'm glad you got good news from your vet. I've got a 17 year old chow and I worry every time I have to get any test results so I know what a relief it is to get good news. At what rate did you lose? I so want to bump the loss back up to a faster rate especially while I'm "highly" motivated. :bigsmile: Even…

Thanks for replying Barb, I will read a lot more about soy products. I do realize how important protein is for maintaining muscle and I've been making sure I get enough.

Hello, I'd like to introduce myself. I'm 60 and I've lost 24 lbs so far and have about 70 to go. I've been overweight all my life but really ballooned the last couple of years when I quit smoking. Then about a year ago I became a vegetarian and began eating mostly breads, pasta and cheese. Well a lot of reading and MFP…

I've been vegetarian for 2 years now and wasn't very smart when I started and ate way too much bread, cheese and pasta. When I started searching for the right way to eat vegetarian I found different body types lose weight differently. Do a search on the web for "body type apple pear" Because according to what type you are…
